Shoulder impingement refers to pain and discomfort in the shoulder caused by the pinching of soft tissue between the humerus and the acromion. This can cause damage to tendons. Treatment includes rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases surgery to relieve pressure on the shoulder.

disc prolapse
Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons in the shoulder joint become pinched. This can be caused by overuse, injury, or anatomical factors.

Treatment for shoulder impingement may include rest, physical therapy exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles and improve posture. In severe cases, an injection of corticosteroids or surgery to increase the space in the shoulder joint may be necessary. An orthopedist or physiotherapist can give individual recommendations.
disc prolapse
Shoulder impingement, in which tendons become trapped in the shoulder, was researched in more detail in the 20th century. It often affects people who perform repetitive overhead movements, such as athletes or people in certain professions. The discovery and understanding of impingement syndrome resulted from advances in shoulder anatomy and biomechanical research. Modern treatment approaches include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases surgery to relieve the pain.
